We're very excited that South African jazz legend Hugh Masekela and his band will perform on Friday, July 13 at 8pm as part of the NYC Rockin' the River Cruises (http://www.rtrcruises.com/). The shows will both be CD Release Parties for Hugh's new CD Live at the Market Theatre (Times Square/Four Quarters Ent) which comes out on July 17. Each NYC RTR Cruise is a scenic tour and live music event in the most intimate and friendly concert setting you've ever experienced. Listening to your favorite artists while sailing past the Statute of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Brooklyn Bridge and the world's greatest NYC skyline - you've never seen music like this before. Seating is first come, first served. The cruise departs from the Circle Line docks at 42nd Street and the Hudson River, Pier 83 - rain or shine
We hope to see you on the water!
All the best,
